A Guide to the Japanese Anime Song "My Soul, Your Beats" from "Angel Beats!"

"Angel Beats!" is a Japanese original television anime series produced by P.A.WORKS. It's a youth drama set in a school in the afterlife. Because it takes place in the afterlife, characters won't truly die even if they engage in actions that would typically result in death. The story unfolds around the characters' peaceful daily school life, including tests, sports festivals, and cafeteria meals, as well as their extraordinary battles against angels using firearms and blades, and the unfair lives they led before their deaths.

"My Soul, Your Beats" was used as the anime's opening theme.

The English Translation of "My Soul, Your Beats" from "Angel Beats!"

Waking up and repeating, on sleepy mornings, tightening the collar and tie, when passing through the classroom door, just a little bit, I can walk with my chest held out. In such everyday life, the wind blows through.

I felt like I heard it, I felt it. It's starting to tremble, right in my chest now. I felt like it's already coming, as billions of stars fade away, I waved my hand and said, "Goodbye, and well done."

Looking down from the corner of the hallway, in the middle of cleaning, I think strange thoughts. Even though time within me has stopped, it accumulates like dust falling like snow, as if living different days.

I felt like I'm waiting, I felt like I'm being called. It's starting to tremble, right at this moment. I felt like I found it, the lost memories awaken, a story of eternity, its end.

Unconsciously, I started to run, being led by your hand. Yesterday was far away, tomorrow is near, my heart danced to such an ordinary thing.

I felt like I heard it, I felt it. It's starting to tremble, right in my chest now. I felt like it's already coming, crossing over thousands of mornings, a new day is waiting. I felt like I'm waiting, I felt like I'm being called. My trembling soul, I felt like I found it, like billions of dreams disappearing, I waved my hand and said, "Thank you."
